- latest Android has moved dalvikvm to /apex/com.android.art/bin/dalvikvm but there's currently no way to run this from recovery due to linkerconfig
- AVBv1 signing is most likely only needed on older devices running older Android which will still have /system/bin/dalvikvm so this shouldn't really affect anything
- loops would fail only in LOS Recovery from direct mount .img and losetup .img+loop mount with, e.g. "mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /apex/com.android.adbd failed: Invalid argument"
- this started ~LOS19, I believe, though I haven't tracked down the specific change yet
- confusing to diagnose, since it always works in recovery adb shell, until I realized there was a context difference: "su" for adb shell and "recovery" for zip flashes
- switch shell context temporarily to "su" to do apex mounts, then return to original context (currently only necessary for mounting loops)
- only umount /metadata and /persist if not already mounted, as some recoveries have these always mounted
- combine into list of possibly pre-mounted partitions to umount
- look for .ak3-debugging file in /tmp /cache /metadata or /persist to allow debugging better on recoveries that only support sideload
- use /tmp for ak3-debug.tgz if sideloading, and fix .tgz compression when apex fails to mount
- tidy up flash_generic block display output to match setup_ak
- add helpful flash_generic debugging stderr for mapper flashing
- hide flash_boot harmless stderr from strings command in TWRP
- restore block=auto covering both ramdisk and boot, with ramdisk list favored to accomodate init_boot
- favor mapper/by-name in flash_generic
- add block/by-name over bootdevice/by-name in flash_generic to mirror block=auto/<name> path finding behavior
- remove whitelist to allow auto-detect for any partition based on by-name filename only
- add more error catching for manually specified partition paths
- restore Huawei Treble partitions to auto-detect (kernel, ramdisk and recovery_ramdisk)
- starting with Pixel 7 series, boot_img_hdr_v4 is now even more complicated, adding 2 more new partitions (init_boot and vendor_kernel_boot) so let's attempt to keep it as simple as we can
- if init_boot partition is detected split up flash files for boot (kernel), init_boot (ramdisk), and vendor_kernel_boot (dtb)
- continue to support current practice of Image* and dtb in zip root by automatically creating a multi-partition AK3 zip setup from these files (ramdisk directory is for the init_boot partition since that's where Magisk and overlay.d will be)
NOTE 1: anykernel.sh must still be setup for multi-parition patching - see the updated Example file for parts to uncomment
NOTE 2: currently magiskboot still does not support unpack/repack of VNDRBOOT v4 multi-ramdisk format (i.e. vendor_boot v4 and vendor_kernel_boot) so if modifications are necessary in these ramdisks they will need to be prebuilt and flashed whole by including vendor_boot.img and/or vendor_kernel_boot.img in the zip root
- this supports custom kernel users to continue not having to fastboot reflash vbmeta with --disable-verity and --disable-verification, now that Magisk 24303+ no longer patches avb out of the fstab on-the-fly at boot time
- checks for an avb option in the fstab entry for the current partition
- if found, it checks if verity or verification is disabled on the top-level vbmeta, and if so, appends a hashtree and FEC data to the partition and updates the hashtree descriptor in the vbmeta partition referenced in the avb option
- add flash_generic support for flashing to dynamic/logical partitions larger than stock using phhusson's lptools binary
- enable full automated support for flashing custom vendor_dlkm.img (note: must NOT be sparse format; factory images are sparse, but images generated from source are not)

- exclude "zimage" as a compression type since magiskboot unpack, split and repack handle it automatically and there is no fallback
- ensure $comp is a working command for all busybox compression fallbacks
- some devices fail to boot when magiskboot changes the vbmeta flag is set in the AVBv2 signature from 00 to 03, this allows disabling that behavior
- set keep_vbmeta_flag=1 in anykernel.sh to force it to keep whatever's there, =auto will take it from the existing image if Magisk-patched (Canary 23016 or later), and =0 will allow the default magiskboot behavior
